This package can't be compiled with GCC 15. Compiling will result in the following major error.

src/timeit.c:37:25: error: passing argument 2 of ‘signal’ from incompatible pointer type [-Wincompatible-pointer-types]

This issue stems from the fact that the GCC default C standard has changed to C23 from C17. It can be fixed by appending -std=gnu17 to the compiler flags. (see: https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-15/porting_to.html#c23)

@gilcu3 that fixed it. Thanks!

@mcardillo55 unfortunately I kept the previous file name after updating to a recent commit. Therefore, AUR helpers do not download the file and fail. Erase the cache and it should work.

Getting checksum error for unixbench-5.1.3.tar.gz after the latest patch.

@hykilp

Why delete -march=native ? does it not build with Risc-V in this case? The test results will be skewed a little.

Just compiled successfully on the riscv64 platform. Please add the following patches to PKGBUILD:

@shizcow patch is part of base-devel group, and you have to have it installed for building AUR packages. Nothing is missing here.
